The compulsory labor year now applies to all unmarried girls between 18 and 25 years old except those physically incapacitated. Its introduction was based on the necessity of having more hands to carry out Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goerlng's intensified four-year plan for Germany's 1 -sufficiency. The new order was signed on behalf of Goering by Friedrich Syrup, president of the reich's institute for job finding and unemployment insurance.

It stipulated further that girls under 25 years old, who, after March 1, wish to obtain work in business or the civil service must furnish evidence of at least one year's activity on a farm or in a household. Labor service previously was compulsory for six months only for Governor (Throng Applauds As Oath Is Taken iDROMISING an end to the spoils system in Arizona's state government, R. T.

2 (UP) Key Pittman, Democrat, Nevada, chairman of the powerful senate foreign relations committee, proposed tonight that the United States "ostracize" Japan if she continues actions against which the state department has protested.

Speaker Bankhead tonight predicted a broad revision of numerous highly controversial New Deal laws. In fact, he ureed his colleagues of the Democratic party to study the Republican victories of last fall's elections, to determine whether the laws that have been passed or the administration of such laws led to those victories.

If so. he advised the Democrats to "meet public opinion" by modifying and correcting the laws. Changes Are Foreseen He foresaw changes in the Waener labor relations act. the social security act, the administration of relief and the crop control act. In addition, he forecast another effort to enact a governmental re organization bill and declared that national defense would be a foremost subject before congress.

"I feel that It Is reasonable to assume that the President will dis cuss at some length and will probably make some very definite suggestions with reference to our international situation and matters which, in his opinion, may be reasonably necessary for the strengthening of our armed national defense," Bankhead said. Ready For Opening Meanwhile, both parties got ready for the opening at noon tomorrow of the 76th congress a congress which may expect to be be rife with controversy, and historically important for its bearing upon the future of the nation and the presidential elections of 1940. Some Republican leaders contend that with the increased strength resulting from the November elections they can. in coalition with conservative Democrats, outvote the New Deal forces. They are frankly hopeful that they may be able to reverse several governmental policies by this method.

Seek Budget Balance In particular, they hope to end the policy of making blanket appropriations for relief and permitting the President to allocate the funds as he sees fit. Thev add that they hope to make a start toward a balanced budget, by keeping a curb on appropriations, and that they will try to beat off any New Deal effort at governmental reorganization legislation such as was presented last year. There was much discussion tonight of the recommendations to be made by Mr. Roosevelt Wednesday, when he intends to go to the capitol and deliver his annual message to a joint session of the house and senate. Next day, it is expected the annual budget mes sage, setting forth the views on government finance and governmental expenditures, will be submitted.

Earl Of Perth Plans To Retire As Envoy LONDON, Jan. 2 (AP) The Earl of Perth, who is 63 years old, will retire in April as British ambassador to Rome.

Sir Percy, 59, was named unofficially to the Rome post during a visit last summer to England. Corsicans Hail Daladier On Tour (Additional Story, Page 4) BASTIA, Corsica, Jan. 2 (AP) Premier Edouard Daladier of France circled the island of Corsica with a fleet of warships today in a symbolic warning to Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy that France is prepared to fiht to keep her empire. He addressed throngs in Ajaccio and Bastia and in both places tens of thousands of Corsicans made no attempt to conceal their idea of the object of the trip. They greeted Daladier with shouts of "Mussolini au poteau!" to the gal "We Prefer Death" Just before he left Bastia for Tunis, Daladier cried to the citizens: "We prefer death to servitude." Daladier told the populace.

"France does not need to be aggressive or menacing." "She has no need to raise her voice," he said. "She must be strong; she is, and that is what I have come to tell you now while this squadron circles your Island. He referred to his convoying fleet of warships as an "image" of France's strength. "While this squadron circles your island." he said, "I wish every farmer and every fisherman seeing it pass to return to his home with the calm of one who knows security." In both Ajaccio and Bastio crowds broke away from the gendarmes and police and fought in the streets for an opportunity to cheer the premier. Prefect Is Hailed The demonstrations were not confined to Corsica's two main towns.

While Daladier made the trip from Ajaccio to Bastia aboard the cruiser Foch, the prefect, as the government's representative on the island, made a triumphal railroad trip across the snow-covered mountain ranges. The populations of mountain villages lined the railroad tracks as gendarmes in their isolated posts stood stiffly at attention. At Daladier's departure lor Tunis, the Foch was escorted by the cruiser Colbert and the third destroyer division. Italy Not Mentioned Italy, whose campaign for a share In the French empire prompted the premier's tour, was not mentioned in Daladier's quiet, confident words, but the people made them apply to fascism with their cries. At Bastia the premier was welcomed by Mayor De Montera, who said.

"Five centuries of Genoese oppression have failed to detach us from France, to which we belong." It was an indirect comparison of ancient Italian efforts to rule Corsica and modern Fascist claims on the Island. Daladier, replying briefly, said, "Whatever province we belong to, we are first of all French." Daladier's schedule called for him to travel overnight across the Mediterranean to Tunisia for the umnrt mior staee of his voyage. The military aspects of his trip will be given more empnasis upon his arrival at Bizerta, Tunisia, at 7-d!

2 (AP) The old-age pension lobbyists got busy bright and early today exerting pressure to have their various plans for bigger payments to tne old folks considered at the com ing session of congress. It became apparent that the fight would center first in the house ways and means committee, with Dr. Francis Townsend's forces, and a rival organization, the General welfare Jederation of America, sparring to have their programs sent to the floor for action. Opposition Expected Administration lieutenants are expected to oppose both programs. An announcement today by Speaker Bankhead put a crimp in the plans of certain pension tacticians who intended to introduce their bills with the names of 100 or more representatives appended as cosponsors.

Bankhead said he would put a stop to the "bad practice" of multiple sponsorship, and that each bill could have only one name attached. Townsend, long-time campaigner for larger pensions, discussed legislative strategy today with Senator Downey, Democrat, California, who spoke favorably of California's $30-every-Thursday plan during his campaign. Sentiment Grows Townsend told reporters senti ment for his program was growing rapidly. He said about 90 representatives and a half dozen sena tors were elected by Townsend votes. At least 156 representatives and a dozen senators are certain to vote for the plan, he said.

The program calls for a two per cent gross transactions tax, the receipts from which would go for pensions to persons over 60. Coincident with Townsend's statement, the General Welfare Federation announced it had "dared" administration leaders in the house to allow the federation's proposal to go to the floor for a vote. Midwesterner May Get Post WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (AP) Reports that Harold M. Stephens now has the inside track for ap pointment to the supreme court circulated in informed congressional circles today.

Stephens, a member of the V. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, was born in and formerly practiced law in Utah. He is 53 years old. Some legislators said Stephens would satisfy demands of western senators that a man from their section be appointed.

These nersons said there were in dications that Mr. Roosevelt had decided against appointing Robert H.

interest of international "Japanese statesmen are too intelligent to declare war against the United States," he said. "In the first place, such a declaration would be absurd. They know and we know that they do not intend to cross the Pacific to attack." Pittman recently issued a formal statement in which he said that "people of the United States do not like the government of Japan." Pittman said he had received numerous letters from peace organizations asking that the United States place an embargo on shipments of scrap iron to Japan. President Roosevelt does not have the authority, he said, to place such an embargo. "If the people of this country and their representatives in rongress desire to stop the shipment of scrap iron, for instance, to Japan, their purpose ran only be carried out by an act of congress," he added.

He said that should peace organizations, churches and citizens press congress to achieve such an embargo, Japan would be 'Very angry," probably would confiscate American property in Japan, and might even break off diplomatic relations, but "I can't conceive xxx that (Japan) would go any further."

Insurgent dispatches asserted a large government force was trapped in the angle of the Segre and Ebro rivers, as Insurgent columns struck south behind the government lines. Move Through Mountains The Insurgents moved from the Segre river, through the Llena mountains, to reach the Ebro at Vinebre. The Navarrese army corps leading this right flank of the offensive was placed by dispatches from the front at less than 10 miles west of Falset, on the Tarragona highway. Falset is 23 miles west-northwest of Tarragona, Mediterranean port which is approximately 50 miles by air line southwest of Barcelona, ultimate Insurgent objective.

Rebels Reported Checked On the west flank of Franco's attack, government reports said the Insurgent troops were checked about six miles from Artesa, 75 miles northwest of Barcelona. In the central sector, the belligerents were reported deadlocked east of Lerida, with the insurgents concentrating their campaign on the flanks and government fortifications holding firm across the main Le-rida-Barcelona highway. Earlier dispatches meanwhile had reported Insurgent activity on the south side of the Insurgent corridor to the Mediterranean.

The amperage is around 10 times that usually available, and can be run up to 100, although on humans a much smaller current is required than this maximum. The completed tube is a steel pillbox, less than a man's height, with a lead tail projecting irom its bottom. This tail is the lower end of a lead-encased bottle, which is the vacuum tube in which the rays are made. The bottle is four feet, eight inches long, much of it housed inside the pillbox. The new electrical principle enables this tube to use ordinary low-frequency current.

That is, it could be plugged in on an ordinary 60-cycle electric light socket. Frank Murphy Is Sworn For Cabinet Post i Attorney General's Confirmation Is Forecast WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (AP) Red-haired Frank Murphy of Michigan took office today as one of the youngest attorney generals the United States ever has had. After the solemn White House ceremony was over, the 45-year-old former governor promised to conduct his office with "soundness and helpfulness." While Murphy, a close friend of President Roosevelt, was being sworn by Associate Justice Stanley Reed of the I. S.

Supreme Court, several senators of both parties predicted he will be confirmed readily by the senate. The only discordant note In senatorial comment was struck by Senator McCarran, Democrat, Nevada. While he said he knew nothing "unfavorable" to Murphy, he expressed belief that the senate would "wish to have information on his handling of the sit-down strikes." (Fierce controversy over Murphy's attitude toward the sit-downs in the automotive industry culminated in testimony last summer before the Dies committee that he blocked enforcement of a court order to evict strikers. President Roosevelt, defending Murphy, accused the committee of unfairness.) Senator Vandenberg, Republican. Michigan, said he does not "expect to oppose" confirmation, believing rahinet appointments are the rhief executive's "personal privilege and responsibility." Senator Brown, Democrat, Michigan, has supported Murpny.

The oath was administered to the new attorney general in the President's study.
